MANTUS! ❤❤❤

oc asks that reveal more than you think

Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?

Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?

Ask them to describe their love interest.

Do they look good in red?

Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

What age do they most want to be right now?

They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?

Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?

Name one thing their parents taught them.

Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?

What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?

If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?

Do they like children?

Kissing: tongue or no tongue?

Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?

What do they like that nobody else does?

What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?

Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?

Stability or novelty?

Honesty or charity?

Safety or possibility?

Talent or effort?

Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?

Would they date a fixer-upper?

What recurring dreams do they have?

What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

Time to take the sacrament, Angel 😇

[authorashraven]

Imagine dating a big bad monster mobster man who sees you walk by his office door, interrupting his super legal meeting, to call you in so you can sit on his lap and be a part of his world.

He asks for your opinions on deals, listens when you have concerns about a rival family. He wants you to feel important because to him you're the most important being in his life.

And as a treat for being the wonderful, smart, and beautiful partner you are, he bends you over his desk and plows you into next week. 😌✨

Working on twisting the forbidden romance element into book three of my monster romance series and god do I love that trope.

The push and pull of desire vs logic.

Both of them know they "shouldn't". One of them loves bending rules and the other follows them, but when everything heats up and neither of them can resist their need for each other?

Oof.

Bestie 😍😍😍😍😍 I'm so happy you are loving this !

[ ... this body’s single penis is still hard. ] Clearly that thing has a hidden nerve connecting it to human males’ brains that we haven’t discovered yet because it seems to steer all my actions.

It's about devotion and obsession. It's ALWAYS about devotion and obsession. And hunger. It's love with teeth.

Well, see you, friends

Don't go after staff members because of this, for what I know they weren't even informed until later in the process. You know who this comes from.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
